Carcass is on tour in the States right now. Already hit up 1 show on the tour, seeing them again April 30th. They're fucking great live, solid sound and perfect song selection. Hailz to Carcass
Carcass marks a before and after for me. I was lucky to for hear about them quite early, Necroticism and Heartwork were and are my favourite metal albums to this day. I still have the original cassette tape of Reek of Putrefaction
Just remembered: in the '90s, the cool thing was to buy not just the average CD, but a special edition, like a Japanese edition, or Digipack edition. For Swansong I bought a CD which externally was the same, but the CD inside was cut with the shape of a brain and should have one or two extra songs.... And although the track list included that extra song/s... That song/s wasn't there :( Also, later I bought Wake Up and Smell the... Carcass, which it's CD case was made opaque black, because the artwork was censored. Good old Carcass...Pepperidge Farm Remembers :)
Symphonies of Sickness is my fav Carcass disc. Some of those formative death metal albums of the late 80’s early 90’s represent for me one of the most exciting periods of the genre.
While Ammott's playing was a nice ADDITION to the band's sound, the main man behind the band has always been BILL STEER. Sorry, but you got it completely wrong. It is an extremely important and crucial moment. He is the master-mind behind their sound, the main guitar player, the main composer. Listen to the FIRST solos in "Buried Dreams", "Carnal Forge", "Heartwork", "Death Certificate" - this is HIS solos, not Ammott's. All rythm guitars EVER on all Carcass albums are recorded by him as well. Please, don't get me wrong, Ammott's playing is great and all, but when he joined the band, he even learned from Bill. So, again, this is important.
@@MetalHealthTV Okay, sure, good point. But in your video you made it sound as if it's all about Amott's guitar work, and didn't mention Bill's playing what so ever, that is the problem! You gave Amott way too much credit, while completely ignoring Steer's guitar prowess. His guitar work is more important, still.
You graciously summarized the whole deal PRE surgical steel. The world needs a deep dive Carcass doc! Their return in 2013 is just unreal and I would say they've done more than just a few one-off shows!!! I think they've been around the world multiple times just in the past 10 years. Most metal bands go through so many more cumbersome personnel changes, this is pretty much the Carcass from the beginning and Daniel is like an eternally youthful Ken and he adds his own thing, which is great. You just can't put a typical metal drummer in this band - Ken laid the groundwork for that perfectly dirty style. I would say lyrically they've been infitnilty more interesting what metal usually gives us. They are graciously self depricating and have zero ego, although they consistently destroy. The fact that Bill Steer plays a Gibson melody maker as his main guitar is worth a documentary all its own. Ohhh.... and the art design throughout has been top notch. Thanks for the video.

I saw them in November of 2022! They were amazing!
The amount of bands and genres that spun off from members of Napalm Death is truly insane.
Your videos are so well made! Thank you! I hope you post more often, and get a lot of subscribers!

Arch Enemy is just something to stare at while listening to guitar solos.
Writing to say I was here before this Chanel gets popular
Haha! Thanks mate! I hope so.
What i loved was the dual vocals. Bill and Jeff.
Brilliant video as always 👏
Great video mate!!

Of course Bill was integral to everything Carcass ever did, but do you think we would of heard Heartwork as it was without Amott? I'm not so sure.

Entombed: Wolverine Blues preceded the Death and Roll title by 3 years.
Cool intro
